What is the point of this article? Many people I worked with at Apple made more (much more) than this.
Do you keep the screen constantly on (with dimming but still on)? I had the same for a thermostat I made and the pixel burn on those screens are terrible. I would add offsetting to mitigate it. (Periodically render stuff with small random offsets) kudos!
It can work for Uber, because this is Ubers core business. It can work for Tesla, because they have a market share of <0.5%.

Toyota, Volkswagen or General Motors would maybe have less revenue with shared cars utopia.
No idea, whether menshealth is considered to be a serious source.

But for ecological sustainability gyms are a sign that current (so-called developed) society has gone completely wrong. First resources are spent that people don't move enogh. Cars, elevators, and whatever. And then resources are used that people move under industrial forms.

Personally I have never been to gym. But I reject to own a car, so getting around always requires some physical activity. Yes, I do bike at -10 deg centigrade and do walk at -20 deg centigrade. It's sometimes a bit of pain, but I guess that's the same in the gym.
>Vaccine+masking/distancing should be enough to get rid of it. It's not clear vaccine alone will do that.

The public is treating the vaccine for like the vaccine for polio, which is that once you get it, you're good. If 80%+ of Americans get the vaccine and we still have to mask and social distance, you're going to see a lot of angry people.
I thought all of these sites just treated it as an n-armed bandit problem.
Why is France taking in more migrants than it can support? It seems cruel to have your migrants homeless and living on the streets.
Could you be a bit more specific? People end up homeless because they are cut from society, have no social support to fall back to, no way of supporting themselves. Most commonly they get to that situation due to mental illness and addiction/substance abuse is an ever-present comorbidity with that.

But the fact is, not having a shelter, running water, a way to cover their basic needs is what amplifies their suffering and dispairs to level where they simply can't get back on their feet. They can't get a job if you smell, your clothes are dirty and you're desperate and hungry. A shelter is a necessary condition I think for getting out of that cycle, and thus a very important first step.
> The Western urge for constantly rethinking and reevaluating history and traditions, for innovations in art and science, does not lead to an inherently stable society in the long run that spans across centuries.

A stable society that spans centuries can stagnate. See Imperial China and Japan before Admiral Perry showed up.

In 1600, the Chinese (and Moghul India) were probably more advanced than Europe in many respects, but there seemed to be little to no desire for further development. The telescope, which kicked off a revolution in the West, was basically ignored. When the Jesuits showed up in 1595, the China still thought that the Earth was flat:

As science developed so did technology, and the European powers were able to basic steam roll over everyone else a century later.
> the Romanian beggars you see in Helsinki streets.

While Finns tend to use the term "Romanian beggars", this can be inaccurate and misleading. I understand that this confusion could have arisen because "Romani people" and "Romanian people" sound similar in Finnish and some of them are from Romania. However, many of them come from Bulgaria as well – a very large community comes from the Bulgarian town of Pleven seasonally each year.

FWIW, the ethnicity names "Romani" and "Romanian" are not actually etymologically related, it is only a coincidence that they sound similar. You would think that after a decade-plus now of having Romani migrants very visible in the Helsinki city center, people could have learned a little more about who they are, and what drives them to make the long journey to Finland.
Dr. Fauci’s salary is good but not fantastic for any person with an MD. Considering his level of expertise it’s safe to say he could make much more in the private sector.

The fact that public roles pay less than private roles opens them up to corruption and makes it harder to attract the best talent. Go look for tech jobs available at your local and state government and you’ll start questioning who would take up such a position.

Isn't there [another editor](https://github.com/zyedidia/micro) written in golang called 'micro'?
The model used in Finland is anything but "just giving the homeless a shelter". It's accompanied by a lot of social work, together with medical, mental and substance abuse care.

The reason for providing housing (not just a shelter, although those exist too) is that social work and care are ineffective when a person is homeless. When someone spends all their energy on staying warm, clean, safe and fed, they are unable to help themselves to a better life.

Providing housing was found to be more effective than adding the same amount of funding to social and medical programs.

Extensive research has been done with this, I'm sure you can find some in English language too if you find the article too hard to believe.
The problem is not the option to place cookies per se. The issue is its misuse which aims to de-anonymize users (in order to place ads).
I don't see how saving the user data somewhere else (in a browser add-on or in the browser natively) is helping here.

EDIT:
The official description [https://github.com/WICG/floc], does a better job in explaining the point.
They try to cluster (="cohort") users interests and exchange that with the ad-service.
This could maybe help to increase transparency and authority over your data as it's saved locally.
But I don't see a way to limit the access to the users cohorts (they even say that themself, see link above). Everybody could access my interests - not just Google and other ad services.
And of course, if you have 1000 categories and some meta information (region based on IP address etc.), you will be able to track down individual users with pretty good accuracy.
> pay the rent for them and give a special card that can be used for anything except alcohol and cigarette

In theory that works but addictions are super powerful, so what ends up happening is that the person will still obtain cigarettes and alcohol, even if it requires begging to get the cash for it. Or they will trade their subsidized food for cash or cigarettes/booze.

> they prefer to get drunk instead of spending it on food and rent

Some are just deep into a depression pit. I agree that some people are just weak, but most people hitting homelesness went through big losses that damages your motivation to lead a normal life. Grudge, sadness, loneliness, grief, abuse .. don't conclude too fast.

Honestly, I'm too lazy to sit and upvote anything to bring it more attention. I'm glad that some people like doing it
Great answer thank you. Agree that transparency is important when accepting donations, I'm sure sometimes it's a pain to prioritize vs any fires that are going on at the time.
That's really interesting.

Funny, I don't feel the same -- my foot rests below the brake (on the floor) instead of on the gas pedal so the time to move it to the brake feels roughly the same, and I'm paying 100% attention while driving since I'm still steering and constantly monitoring distance to the cars in front of me. So I don't notice any less attention -- it's just a rest for the muscles in my right foot.

But really I'd definitely go with your own perception here -- if you feel like you're paying less attention then it's a good thing you're not using it! Everyone's attention habits and patterns are different. And I'm glad to know people vary in this.
The goal of capitalism is not to create more carbon emissions.
How is this hateful nonsense? Every citizen is eligible for that support. Do you perhaps live here so you can say it's not true?

Sure it's not always perfect, errors in bureaucracy happens sometimes but getting social security is the default. If you accept it you get a house.
honestly the thing that bugs me the most about the article is cookies == tracking.

Sure, cookies are used for tracking, but they are also used for authentication, which is something that nearly every webapp needs to do.

I just think that, due to articles like this, cookies end up being viewed as nothing but bad, when they are an important tool for the web when used properly.

More on-topic of the article:

this doesn't look like it really changes anything, to me. Like, so instead of cookies being used to track your data, they use a _browser extension_?? that is potentially even _more_ invasive. Sure, if it does what they say it will do, it kind of obfuscates your personal data. Really, what people want is just....less ads. Less targetted ads. This doesn't achieve that.

My parents ran their 2004 Prius until last year and it had zero mechanical problems— it was just old, and the parts that were failing and uneconomical to fix were related to interior trim degradation.

Fabrice Bellard, who is quite famous on HN for his open source work, has founded a company for his own 5G implementation. And they are EU-based. [1]

I'm under the impression his work is closer to the "radio protocol" than the infrastructure management behind. Not sure if they are related to Open-RAN though...

Clicked around a bit and it looks you can only reply to your own side?

It's also a bit hard to follow which comments are replies, so UX-wise it seems to encourage dropping quick takes and nodding along. Case in point, comments seem mostly rehashes of tired talking points.

The value of debating IMHO comes from depth, but depth cannot be achieved by merely segregating comments into team buckets. It requires fostering a culture of willingness to introspect and question your own beliefs. Forums like lesswrong are a good example of that
No, only if the US allows it. ASML has no say in the actual export restrictions.

> I don't want to get into politics on HN.

Your original suggestion of regulation is politics. It's a political decision. When you say "the UK should fight this", you mean: "UK politicians should actively decide to act".

MasterCard making this move forces the UK government to show their hand - and it's not that MasterCard has made this decision without that in mind. It indicates that MasterCard thinks* there's a good chance UK government won't do anything.

(*or knows - they spend plenty on lobbying and will have spoken directly to decision-makers)

You could say that about just ICE cars too. Why would anyone want to buy a Porsche or a BMW (or even a Ford or VW) when they can have the rock solid reliability and lower depreciation of a Toyota?

Also, leasing has become so much more common that Toyota and other (mostly Japanese) manufacturers key strength in long term reliability isn't as big of a factor as it used to be. If you're only keeping the car around for 3 years anyways, it doesn't matter so much if the car is notorious for falling apart after 5 years.
That you need a "framework" to build simple CLI tools does not seem to speak too well of the language. I know nothing about rust, but isn't there a simple facility for using argc, argv, and the like?
The thing is that the "home first" movement in Finland states that home isn't a trophy that you get once you fix your life. Home and food is essential to get your life on track, and home is given even for alcoholic people. But if they don't pay their rent, and even give up on social welfare to pay the rent for you, what can you do?
To be fair to the reputation of Romanians on HN, the beggars and squatters around Finland, Norway, and Sweden are not ethnic Romanians even if they often are born there, but come from the Zigeuner/Gypsy/Roma people.
I just love all the aerospace euphemisms.
While the approach controllers share some blame too, it turns out that Pakistan CAA had recently changed the test scheme and a lot of pilots fully qualified under the old regime hadn’t taken the new set of exams which used to be optional
I highly recommend listening to 99 Percent Invisible’s new 5 part series on homelessness in America. Saying shelter doesn’t fix the problem is misleading, as it is typically a required component to solving other issues that person is facing.

The "decimal floats" specified in JSON are exactly what is wrong with it; Javascript approaches numerics like Applesoft basic did, you have floats that can often stand in for ints. The JSON specification promises one thing, but it's not supported by the 'reference implementation' that it is based on.

Also it is a lose-lose situation.

Not only are floats wrong in many ways (e.g. I think 0.1 + 0.2 = 0.300000000000002 makes many people decide "computing is not for me") but parsing floats (really any ASCII numbers) is astonishingly slow and people get "frog boiled" into accepting it. (e.g. there is no problem with the speed of parsing 10 floats, but when you are parsing a million floats you have a real problem, and a million floats is just 4 MB of core, well in the range that a web or other application could handle on anything bigger than an 8-bit micro-controller.)

Like the numerous problems that cause programmers to not use the SIMD instructions in your Intel CPU, there are multiple problems with floats, each of which can be dismissed by apologists, but when you add them up it's a major drag on the industry.
Congratulations on launching a website, now let me enumerate the problems you will now be facing:

* Some arguments do not really have two sides because there is an objective truth. The Earth orbits the Sun, humans evolved from ape-like ancestors, etc. These were once debatable topics but now the issue has been settled and debate is pointless.

* Some arguments do not really have two sides because in reality there are multiple viewpoints. Global warming is not real because how can we know if it is, global warming is a deliberate hoax, global warming is real but not that bad, global warming is real and bad but not man made, global warming is real and bad and we can do something about it. How does your site help with this kind of topic?

* Trolls. The design of your site encourages trollish behavior. I am not sure how you plan to moderate harmful or offensive content but if you think that people will step up to shout down offensive topics you are very wrong. The sensible people will just leave and you will be left with only the trolls.

* Moderation. If you site gets any sort of traction you will need moderation. Moderation of topics, moderation of comments, outright banning users. Put simply, you are going to have to take sides defeating the whole "both sides" approach you are trying to foster. At the moment, one of the front page topics is how the Holocaust could be used for population control - a real nice way to introduce your site.

Good luck, but I will not be joining.
Search is not as reliable anymore because everything is locked up in an app, walled garden or javascript monstrosity now.

The major players like it that way and marketing/business/finance people seem to only care about the data you get with the app now, though no one but large big data third parties knows what to actually do with it. This movement has worked so hard to commoditize technology/data that only major players can exist, everyone else just sharecropping on platforms and algorithms that they can no longer compete with.

For many companies, web is now an afterthought, de-prioritized. A bit like audio/sound in games, a major part of a product but not enough time is given to it.

We lost touch with why the web was amazing, at the root it was basic text/markup, hypertext protocols, that anyone or any company could compete on, and it was searchable outside the walls. That land has now been claimed by bigger owners, locked down, and able to be leased.

I go through new submissions a few times a week. A couple things that make it undesirable:

1. No way to limit to certain topics/tags. That means I'm seeing philosophy, politics, news, etc.

2. No way to see a summary without clicking the link and waiting for the page to load. Reasons this is bad: Title length is limited (for good reason) so titles on HN are routinely uninformative. There's more likely to be annoying ads/paywalls/etc. inside these posts. That's a lot of overhead to devote to a single potential vote for a probably-not-good post. As a result, I just skip over most links, and that's the same as not visiting the New Links page.
Without evidence, he stated that all homeless people in Finland are homeless because they would "prefer to get drunk". I don't think it's incorrect to describe this as hateful, because it's very clearly informed by a bias against homeless people rather than any real evidence.

This is the equivalent of jumping into a discussion to say that Black people are poor because they "keep buying cellphones". It's not a serious intellectual comment, it's cloaked hatred.
So are these model iPhones inadvisable for hospital workers?
That's in terms of nationwide total vote count. That's not how the electoral college works though. Biden won by a few thousand votes in a few key swing states. Therefore, it is more accurate to say that Biden won by a few thousand votes.

That's true, but that's the price we pay for open discussion. I'll take faulty logic that needs correction over a Philosopher King-style oversight. Because I don't trust oversight not on the question of the Earth's shape, but rather on controversial or grey areas where Fact Checkers might be tempted to feel are in scope for correcting.
Most of the [dead] post are just spam. Some are just off topic. If you see one that is not spam, you can vouch them, and if it is really great you can write an email to the mods. (It's a manual process, so only write about the very good post.)

There are some corner case, like people that make very simple technical post like "How to sort a list in Python using the standard sort function", and submit every day one of them. A good discussion about different sorting algorithms is nice, but a two lines post about [1 4 2 3].sort is not.

It would be nice if you link 2 or 3 examples.
Everyone is always so hung up on the value of the car when it comes to repairs.

The value of the car is only what someone would pay for it. If you're planning to keep it, then that value is only an insurance number.

A car is potentially worth a lot more if you keep it, especially if the car is low maintenance. With electric cars you trade some value up front (they are typically more expensive) to reduce the maintenance over the long term. But you will still have maintenance like replacing batteries when they go. You saved the cost of filling it up with gas and changing oil for going electric. So the smart move would be to treat your car like you're still sort of filling it with gas and changing oil and put that money towards the cost of new batteries when the time comes.

Every car has maintenance costs. With electric you just sort of push it down the road a ways when it comes to the battery.

You could get a new car... sure.. but now you have a car payment, or you may have thrown a bunch of cash at the problem. But if there's nothing wrong with your car except maintenance then put that money into the maintenance. Otherwise you're just pretending to care about the environment with your electric car that you probably tell yourself is cheaper (due to gas and oil changes) and better for the environment.
TSMC History
I'll say this as someone who's been evicted twice, the number one reason the vast majority of people end up homeless is because they don't have money.

This can happen for a small array of reasons, let's say you're in a bad marriage and your spouse leaves. You simply can't make the rent anymore, you're now homeless.

19 years old, and you're getting into really bad fights with your parents, you're now homeless.

Develop a medical issue in your mid-30s which prevents you from working, you're now homeless.

In my fantasy world we wouldn't even have evictions, instead a social worker would advise you that you're legally entitled to effectively a dorm of some sort.

>In modern western society we have many failsafes that prevent people from becoming totally dislodged from a place of shelter.

You're kidding right, when you're released from prison they give you 20 bucks. Awful hard to find housing with $20 you know, especially when you have a criminal record. A ton of people did do things which warranted a sentence, but we make no effort to reintegrate these people. So you did something bad when you were 20, you being 35 years old out on the streets without any hope isn't healing anything. If anything at all you're much more likely to resort to another crime of desperation.
Spectrum OS – A step towards usable secure computing
To add some missing details on this, in 2018/19 the city council passed some ordinances that removed the criminality of some homeless activities. Specifically, they made it explicitly legal to camp in most public spaces (excluding parks) and they permit panhandling, sitting and sleeping on public sidewalks.

So there's a lot of "campsites" downtown. A lot of tents, or just people in sleeping bags on the sidewalk. A lot of people peeing against the buildings.

It's hard to score the upsides and downsides without starting an argument, but it feels like much of Austin has soured on the "decriminalization of homelessness".
This rocks! How do I get the last visit to show up. I tried to close and reopen
